Rev. Bert Sumikawa, Rev. David Fujimoto, & Rev. Barbara Brennan
Spring Ohigan Dharma Service for Sunday, March 17, 2024 with a Dharma Talk by Rev. David Fujimoto, resident minister at Moiliili Hongwanji at Windward Buddhist Temple. The service was officiated by Rev. Dr. Bert Sumikawa.
Spring Ohigan is one of the Hongwanji’s major services. It is the time when there is harmony in the universe, when day and night are equal in length. It is a time for reflection, to recall and try to put into practice the Six Paramitas or Perfections to achieve a balance in our lives.
